Wills & Estate Planning

Making a will is vital if you want to be certain that your wishes will be met after you die. It can be easy to put it off, but the process may not be as difficult as you think.
It’s important to review and update your will regularly to make sure it always reflects what you want to happen to your estate (your property, savings and possessions).

Inheritance tax is an issue which affects many of our clients. Given the increased value of the average home, often the IHT threshold is breached, unless the estate has been planned carefully. We offer expert advice on how to best avoid this often unexpected burden which can force a quicker than wanted liquidation of estates.

A Power of Attorney is a legal tool that allows you to appoint someone to make certain decisions on your behalf. There is more than one type of Power of Attorney. The appointed person can manage your finances for you in the future if you reach a point where you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
